This is the brutal reality of life for women under the Islamic Republic in Iran. A woman in Tehran sent me this photo of her scarred back, flogged for the “crime” of showing her hair. Yet, she refuses to be silenced.
Holding a Woman, Life, Freedom slogan, she took this photo as a powerful act of defiance, declaring:
“The morality police arrested me for resisting their van. My ‘crime’ was unveiling. After months of court hearings, I was sentenced to 74 lashes. The cleric overseeing the punishment stood there to ensure it was carried out. I won’t give up my fight against this brutal regime, but we are fed up with living as prisoners in our own homeland.”
Her scars tell the story of oppression, but her courage speaks of a revolution.
This is a barbaric law, this is terrorism. How is this different from ISIS?
Acordámos num mundo pior. Venceu o ódio, a violência, o totalitarismo, a boçalidade, o racismo e a misoginia. Venceram os que não respeitam as mulheres, as minorias, os imigrantes. Venceu o extremismo populista na sua pior versão. Venceu a indecência! É preciso resistir, é preciso apoiar a Ucrânia e a Palestina, porque “a conspiração contra a América” tornou-se realidade.
@Tarantina12 nojo.
como é que uma mulher consegue sequer dizer que “estamos a tentar ser iguais aos homens”. gostava de conhecer a primeira Mulher (M grande) que menosprezasse outra, por querer ser dona de casa.

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair.
This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities.
Be her voice.

A minha solidariedade com o trabalhador da Carris Metropolitana hospitalizado, vítima de um ato totalmente injustificável. A urgente pacificação dos bairros não virá de apelos à violência e ao ódio, mas sim de garantias verdadeiras de justiça e igualdade perante a lei.
